John Mason stripped of SNP party whip over 'unacceptable' Gaza posts - BBC News
Writing on X Mr Mason said Israel's actions in Gaza did not amount to "genocide".
You're viewing a single thread.
Would've been nice if they added the little tidbit in the headline that said Gaza posts were specifically denying what is happening in Gaza is genocide.
John Mason stripped of SNP party whip after 'unacceptable' posts claiming events in Gaza 'not genocide'
Maybe remove the unacceptable quote if that's too long. And suddenly some might not go in with the idea that maybe it was because he made a pro-Palestine post.
I mean if you know John Mason you probably wouldn't assume that, but I think it's healthier for journalists to presume you don't know all the MPs and MSPs.
*: edited to add that the info should've been added in the headline
They showed his tweets further down in the article. The bit about: "If Israel wanted to kill them they could do" was especially disgusting.
Ah oops, I meant to say "in the headline". I agree, his tweets were disgusting and I think they should've been highlighted more from the get-go. I just dislike that the headline as it is makes it seem as if the SNP possibly overreacted or reacted in a pro-Israel way. Feels like it's misleading by omission.
Ahh gotcha. Yeah I was actually thinking the same. I thought how bad could it be? Oh. Bad. Shit.
Yep. I also totally interpreted the headline to mean this guy was getting cancelled for sympathizing with Palestinians.
Nope. Totally defending the genociders in gross ways.
